The Baltimore Ravens have ruled quarterback Lamar Jackson out of Sunday's home game against the Cincinnati Bengals, and Tyler Huntley will start for the third straight week.
Why it matters: Baltimore is in a tight AFC North race and plays three games in 12 days.
The injury
Jackson was hurt in Week 4 against Tennessee. Pro Football Rumors, citing The Athletic, reported that team doctors diagnosed a high ankle sprain. He had been listed as questionable after limited practices.
In his words
"If I can just go out there and just be a statue and get hit, [there's] no positives in that," Jackson told reporters, according to the team. Huntley led a comeback win in Atlanta but the Ravens lost at Cleveland last week.
